What a glorious day we had yesterday! Wasn’t the weather spectacular?? After my sessions in the morning, my husband and I spent nearly all day outside with our kids. I love Fall. I love taking deep breaths on those first mild days after the blaze of summer. I love the sounds of the squirrels in the trees making their winter preparations. I love the cool tones of the sunlight through the changing leaves. I love the lack of mosquitos!
I came inside after lunch to make yesterday’s blog post, the LAST day of the contest, and my internet was down. Oh well, I’ll try later, I thought and went back outside. Before dinner, it was still down. So I planned to post after the kids went to bed.
One small problem. I’ve been working a lot of late nights lately, and my annoying dog has been waking me up during the night. So reading to my son before bed last night gave me a dangerous chance to relax … too much. It was 8:15 and I just couldn’t resist putting on my pj’s and going to sleep for the night.
I woke up at 4 a.m. and realized I’d forgotten to post on the blog. I was so depressed! It was the last day of the 30 Day blog Challenge after all! I wanted to come up with something really special and profound.
Now it’s 6:30 a.m. and my baby girl is waking up, so special and profound just won’t happen this morning. Sorry.
Andie, congrats! Your comment came through first on my email, though it was waiting in the admin panel for moderation. You won! Ashley, you almost got another $100. Thanks for playing, girls!
And thanks everyone for the enthusiasm and fun for the last 30 days. I really hope you will keep reading, commenting, and sharing my blog with your friends. I have thoroughly enjoyed my side of the blog challenge. I plan to continue blogging as often as possible, possibly daily. But sorry, no more $100 prizes after today if I miss. I’ll put myself out of business! 
Have a beautiful Sunday, everyone.
Just a couple from yesterday afternoon …
